Lung function deficits greater in Hispanic than White children Posted: 22 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Hispanic children with asthma, particularly girls, show greater deficits in lung function than their White counterparts, research shows.

Illness insight in schizophrenia patients and their caregivers linked Posted: 22 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Schizophrenia patient's insight into their illness is closely correlated with the insight of their caregivers, study results have shown.

Affective temperamental profiles influence suicide risk in mood disorders Posted: 22 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT The temperament profiles of patients with major affective disorders have a profound influence on both hopelessness and suicidal behavior, in a relationship that is mediated by white matter hyperintensities, study results show.

AGA lowers endoscopic eradication treatment threshold for BE Posted: 22 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Endoscopic eradication therapy should be favored over surveillance for Barrett's esophagus patients with confirmed high-grade dysplasia, says the American Gastroenterological Association.

LMWH ‘not superior’ to UFH for DVT prevention in intensive care Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Multinational study results show that there is no significant difference in the rate of deep vein thrombosis among critically ill patients receiving thromboprophylaxis with unfractionated versus low molecular weight heparin.

FAST could replace ROSIER in ED stroke diagnosis Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers report similar diagnostic accuracy for the ROSIER scale and the shorter, simpler FAST criteria.

Childbirth differentially impacts subtype-specific breast cancer risk Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT A woman's reproductive history differentially affects her risk for triple-negative and estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer postmenopause, US study data show.

DASH diet could help improve cardiovascular health in diabetic youth Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet helps to improve cardiometabolic factors in addition to blood pressure in young people with diabetes, report researchers.

Researchers warn of bias in self-reported anthropometric data Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers say that care should be taken when using self-reported measures of body size in epidemiologic analyses, after finding significant differences between self-reported and measured anthropometric data.

Diabetes influences lipid-lowering effects of combination therapy Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT The lipid-lowering effects of combination therapy, compared with statin monotherapy, differ for patients with and without diabetes, research suggests.

Fatty liver increases diabetes risk in people with impaired fasting glucose Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT People with impaired fasting glucose who also have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are at higher risk for diabetes than those without fatty liver, suggest study results.

DASH diet could help improve cardiovascular health in diabetic youth Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet helps to improve cardiometabolic factors in addition to blood pressure in young people with diabetes, report researchers.

Diabetes influences lipid-lowering effects of combination therapy Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT The lipid-lowering effects of combination therapy, compared with statin monotherapy, differ for patients with and without diabetes, research suggests.

Long-term AF risk reduction unlikely with statin therapy Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT The long-term risk for developing atrial fibrillation is not reduced by statin therapy, according to results from a large meta-analysis.

GRAVITAS in print: high-dose clopidogrel does not reduce mortality risk post-PCI Posted: 21 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT Using high-dose clopidogrel in patients who have high on-treatment reactivity after percutaneous coronary intervention does not reduce their mortality risk after stenting compared with standard-dose clopidogrel, findings from the GRAVITAS study show.
